daily struggle in ancient times
Chapter 8
Huichun Hall is the largest medical clinic in the town. Although there are many people on weekdays, most of them have sad eyes. It is not like today, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone is very excited and discusses a lot.
"What a tiger, this tiger skin looks so beautiful!"
"I don't know who is so brave and can kill such a big tiger."
"I heard that he is a strong man, nine feet long, with copper eyes and iron teeth. One punch is worth dozens of punches from others. He is very powerful!"
Different from the hustle and bustle outside the medical hall, it is quite quiet inside, and the strong man with copper eyes and iron teeth is sitting on a chair, with a pile of tiger bones next to him, and the shopkeeper Feng of the medical hall is sitting opposite him. His face was calm, in stark contrast to the doctors in several surrounding medical clinics.
Shopkeeper Feng looked at the other party while thinking about how to deal with it.
The guy in front of him came early in the morning and asked them if the clinic accepted tiger bones and meat. Many people had followed them along the way, but it was still crowded outside.
It's just that although this man is a farmer, he looks quite difficult to mess with. Even the elders like him are shocked because he has seen blood.
Seeing that Huo Cheng didn't intend to speak, shopkeeper Feng quickly said: "This is Feng Gui, the shopkeeper of Huichuntang. I don't know the name of this good man?"
"Huo Cheng."
"Brother Huo is so brave at such a young age, I admire him very much. I wonder how much Brother Huo Huo plans to pay?"
Huo Cheng: "How much can Huichuntang produce?"
Shopkeeper Feng rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "This tiger bone weighs about a hundred catties, plus tiger meat, 120 taels."
Huo Cheng has seen tiger bone wine before, and a small pot costs 20 taels of silver. Although the price of 100 taels does not sound low, if he follows this deal, he will definitely lose money, so naturally he has to raise the price: " 300 taels, bring a piece of tiger whip for you."
300 taels is not a loss for shopkeeper Feng, let alone a tiger whip.Huichuntang had many branches throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. After these tiger bones were processed and shipped to the capital, the profit was as many as 300 taels, but the merchants were after profits, and if Huo Cheng got more, he would naturally get less.
After thinking about it, shopkeeper Feng put on a embarrassed look on purpose: "Brother Huo, you paid too much for this price. If I pay you at this price, I will be at a loss. How about it, get on Tiger whip, how about I give you 150 taels?"
Huo Cheng calculated what he had to do, and replied, "280 taels."
He doesn't know much about Huichuntang, but this medical center can be found in many places in Dazhou. Although the name may be different, the sign hanging in the store is exactly the same.Although this price is a bit high in the town, it is definitely a low price for Shopkeeper Feng.
Afterwards, no matter what shopkeeper Feng said, Huo Cheng killed 280 and did not let go, so shopkeeper Feng could only let go in the end.Although the money I got was a little less, it was nothing compared to the other benefits that I could get by giving tiger bones.
The two quickly signed the contract, and within a few moments, 260 taels of silver bills and 20 taels of broken silver and copper plates were placed on the table.
Shopkeeper Feng received the good stuff and was in a good mood. He took a sip and moisturized his lips with a smile. After thinking about it, he asked, "I don't know how Brother Hupihuo plans to sell it?"
Huo Cheng glanced at him in surprise, "Isn't Huichun Hall a medical center?"
Shopkeeper Feng nodded nonchalantly, and said cheerfully, "Huixuntang is a medical center, but my old head Feng is not a doctor."
Huo Chengran, shopkeeper Feng bought the tiger skin for himself, not on behalf of Huichuntang.
"To be honest, the boss will come in a few days. This tiger skin is a rare item. I can win a lot of money by sending it up. It's just that I am the shopkeeper, and the price I can offer is limited, no more than those rich employees. Wailang, I wonder what price Brother Huo plans to sell it for?"
Huo Cheng compared the fur prices he had seen at the border, thought for a while and said: "30 taels." This price is not high, but the appearance of tiger fur is not the best, and Huo Cheng intends to sell it to shopkeeper Feng. Naturally, he couldn't set the price higher, and he wasn't losing money in this deal.
Shopkeeper Feng was already ready to bargain with the other party, but he didn't expect that the price offered by the other party was quite affordable, and he was quite satisfied with Huo Cheng in his heart, so he agreed immediately.Before leaving, he also told him: "Brother Huo is capable, if there is such a good thing in the future, don't forget my old head Feng, and I will definitely give you a high price when the time comes."
Huo Cheng casually agreed.If it weren't for the family's rush to spend money, Huo Cheng would not go to the tiger this time. After all, he still wants his leg. If he does it again, this leg will really be useless.
Yesterday Li Langzhong told him not to use his legs in the near future, and the village head asked his eldest son Li Wen to send Huo Cheng into the city in the family's ox cart.The bullock cart couldn't go around the city, so he borrowed the cart from the acquaintance's store. Huo Cheng went in to discuss the matter, and he waited outside. Seeing Huo Cheng coming out, he quickly stood up: "The matter is over?"
Huo Cheng nodded, and waited for the staff at the clinic to take the tiger skin off the cart before he and Li Wenyuan prepared to leave.
"Uncle Wen, I would like to trouble you to buy something for me."
Li Wen responded with a full mouth: "Okay, tell uncle what you want to buy, and I will guarantee that it will be neatly bought for you later."
Huo Cheng took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and handed it over, "Winter is coming soon, my mother's clothes are fine, but Brother Tong's clothes are too thin, please trouble uncle to pull a few pieces of cloth, buy some cotton, and give it to the family later." Some people tear off some winter clothes. I also need to buy some fine grains, snacks and meat for my mother and the others to taste."
Li Wen thought for a while, and only took five taels, and asked Huo Cheng to put the rest away: "It's just this little thing, it doesn't cost so much money, five taels is enough, what are you going to buy for this snack?"
Huo Cheng: "I haven't been back in the past few years, you can buy it."
"Sure, then you just stay here, uncle will definitely take care of it for you."
Li Wenchang came to the town, and within half an hour, he bought everything, and there were hundreds of copper coins left, which he returned to Huo Cheng.The latter accepted it kindly, turned around and picked up the oiled paper bag on the car and handed it to him: "I've been busy all morning, you should also eat something to cushion yourself."
Li Wen thought it was steamed buns or something, so he didn't refuse, so he opened it and saw that there were two delicious meat buns inside, "This won't work, take these buns back and give them to your mother and brother Tong. I'm not hungry, wait until I get home." Just eat at home."
Of course Huo Cheng would not agree, but Li Wen refused, and said embarrassedly: "That's fine, then uncle will accept your favor."
The two drove the car back to the village. The people in the village stared at the big bags and small bags, but they just took their things last night, so it was hard to say anything, but it made the two of them a lot cleaner.
Aunt Huo had already waited at the door with Brother Tong. They unloaded their things to Huo's house. Li Wen was about to leave when Huo Cheng stopped him.
"This is for the village chief, and this is for you."
Li Wen looked at the several paper bags in front of him, and quickly declined: "You kid, what are you doing, you call me uncle anyway, you have to be so polite."
Huo Cheng smiled, and said sincerely: "The village chief has worried a lot about our family in the past few days since I came back. This is what we should honor. You accompanied me to the town today and helped me buy so many things , thank you is also due. There are not many things, just a heart."
It was the first time Li Wen saw him say such a long speech. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I will accept it. If you need help with anything in the future, just come home."
Huo Cheng bought a lot of things, Aunt Huo was happy and distressed at the same time, "You baby, why did you buy so many things, it's too expensive!"
"You can still earn money after spending it." Huo Chengpa pulled out a pack of pine nut candies and handed it to Brother Tong next to him, "Eat it."
Tong Geer looked at the fierce third uncle, swallowed, and shook his head.
Aunt Huo quickly said: "Third Uncle gave it to you, eat it."
Seeing that grandma also agreed, Brother Tong took it carefully and thanked him in a low voice.
Seeing him like this, Huo Cheng said in his heart that he was not uncomfortable, it was a lie.The elder brother is nearly ten years older than him, and he has been very kind to his younger brothers since he was a child, especially Huo Cheng, who was brought up by his elder brother, and has a deep relationship with this elder brother.
Tong Ge'er was not very old when he was born, and he loved this nephew very much. Tong Ge'er's temperament was not as timid and cowardly as it is now, and he was very lively.
It's a pity that my eldest brother was seriously ill, and he left after a year's delay, and my sister-in-law remarried again. She had no father or mother and was not treated by her uncle and aunt, so she forced herself into her current temper.
Fortunately, the days are still long, and it can always be changed.
Aunt Huo looked at Brother Tong's happy expression with candy in his mouth, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. She was afraid that her younger son would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked with concern: "Haven't you had lunch yet? This morning at Wei's house. Brother brought over a chicken and said thank you for saving his life, mother stewed it and it was still hot, you should eat it quickly."
His mother's craftsmanship is good, the soup stewed by the old hen is very fresh, and Huo Cheng is very satisfied.
Seeing that her son was full, Aunt Huo spoke to him cautiously: "Dacheng, what happened to you and the little brother from the Wei family yesterday?"
Huo Cheng was taken aback, "It's nothing, I happened to meet him, he lost his way in the woods, what's wrong?"
Aunt Huo was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she hesitated and said, "I heard that Mrs. Gu in the village is showing up to the little brother of the Wei family these days. Isn't this for an official match? Mother is also anxious. But you don't I would like to see each other. What if the official has a bad character at that time? The little brother of the Wei family is a good one. These years have been safe and sound, and this is probably not so accurate. If you want, mother will go and talk to Aunt Gu?"
She was also forced to have no choice but to marry a wife and a virtuous person. If there was another troublemaker like the second daughter-in-law, her wife would really not be able to bear it.
But her own son doesn't want to see each other, and she doesn't want to be the official consort, so she doesn't care too much. Anyway, this little brother of the Wei family is good-natured and capable. If he hadn't brought a young brother with a bad reputation, he would have already married people.
Huo Cheng has a good impression of Wei Yun, but he has no intention of becoming a husband and wife with him yet.It's just his mother's worry that Huo Cheng also knew that, thinking that he would get married sooner or later, he didn't say a word: "I'll think about it again."
Aunt Huo quickly agreed, with joy in the corners of her eyes and brows.
It's just that before Huo Cheng thought about it for two days, rumors spread in the village.
